Has anyone ever stopped to think JUST HOW LUCKY WE ALL ARE TO HAVE RUclips TO KEEP THE MEMORY OF NEIL PEART ALIVE ????? RIP MR. PROFESSOR OF THE DRUM KIT !!!!!! THANKS RUclips !!!!! YOU KEEP THE MEMORIES ALIVE !!!!!!
Totally. For all the negative things, YT enables us to hear & see stuff many of us wouldn't or couldn't access. I think though this will decrease so to speak & everything monetised. Ive always been into Cure, SOM etc but Rush played a huge part in my mid/late teens. I was the'weirdo' at school but thrived on that! Neil Peart never be forgotten
Johnathan, I was introduced to Neil, by one of our local drummers who was widely known, and then opened a full music school. Spending my summer vacays with Neil, was NO walk in the park. There was a lot of physical conditioning/training. Every day since his untimely death, I sit down and play one of his songs.
Yeah he's played the song a million times... I think if I were in a rockstar band like this I would eventually get pretty bored of playing the same stuff over and over...
Neil Peart is indeed the greatest drummer of all time. My family and I was in attendance on the last leg of Rush' "Clock Work Angels" Tour in 2012. And Neil Peart was absolutely phenomenal!!. RIP Neil Peart, you will surely be missed by your millions of fans!!!
Moon was better...did more with far less drums, the true text of a great drummer...I liked Peart, but had to have 50 drums to be able to play....Buddy Rich used 4
Its entertaining to speculate who would be the drummer for a new RUSH...but...it stops there. Geddy and Alex will never EVER get on stage... or in the studio again...to create new RUSH music. Could they get a drummer who can play as good as Neil? I will honestly say theres alot of incredible drummers out there who are on the same technical and execution level Neil is....but thats where it stops. There will never EVER be a creative genius out there to rival Neils songwriting and lyrical skills which made rush RUSH. And furthermore, I believe Geddy and Alex will never try to replace Neil...for the complete respect for what Neil created. It would not be fair to anyone.
In 2008, I was at a bar in Etobicoke, ON. I couldn't help but notice a dude just casually playing an acoustic while stretched out across two bar stools. I asked the server what the deal was, and he casually replied, "Oh, that's Alex Lifeson. Yeah, we keep a guitar here for him. He likes to play it sometimes." Sure enough, it was him. Shy at first, I eventually approached him to offer some general praise. Despite my interruption, he chatted with me for about 15 minutes, topping it off with "It was nice to meet you". Just one example of how cool and grounded they are. I doubt I'll forget that one...
Kasper you lucky son of a gun! It’s so cool Alex just hung for a bit chatting away. They all seem like such really cool guys, menschs all, and so smart, witty, pure Canadian!
Oh you have no idea how accomplished all three of these gentlemen are I had the pleasure of seeing rush in California back in the early eighties and let me tell you something nobody nobody Mr beat
There will never be another Rush ever. The highest tech band and self made. Nobody had ever controlled their own production process at this time. It was their own company. The only way to be or give it up and do not do it at all.
This is the ultimate Rush song in my opinion. The complexity of the music, the true to life lyrics, the grandness of the synth at the end, it just can't get any better.
There is no better example of what is meant when someone says "They were tight!" Not a note out of place, everybody killing it, and doing it live...just wow!
Thx for pointing that out! And thanks for the upload 👍 At 4:26 yeah. Fuck'n incredible. Loved these guys since I was about 8 (41 now) and I always will! 🙏👍✌ RUSH ROCKS FOREVER Hope everyone is staying safe. Much love from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
What Geddy does at 4:28 to 4:39 (pulling away from the boards and just killing it on bass) just makes this version for me. That dude is from another planet.
He has a moment to pull away and just let go in the moment while Alex takes over for the solo. A moment of easy playing (for HIM) and it sounds so good...
Every time I hear this song I think of growing up back in the 80’s, riding my BMX bike with my friends, not caring about anything, getting up on Saturday mornings to watch the cartoons. It just gives me a dejavu feeling of that part of my life that I can’t fully explain....it’s weird. Gotta be the best decade.
Right there with you, Murray. Superfriends on Saturday mornings...Diamond Backs, Torkers and Redlines every day after school. The summer of '84 was probably the best I ever had. :D
Yep, the 80's rocked! Spent all my money on arcade games then got an Atari 2600. Did they ever show the Subdivisions video on Friday Night Videos on NBC? I think I saw it there.
Same here.....riding our bikes all over town,hitting the arcade rooms,callin friends up on the push button home phone to setup a meeting place...lol...best of times!!!!
Pablo Gaviria wow so awesome, yeah I get he doesn't like to bugged when he is at the blue jays game, he just wants to chill and watch the game like everyone else. can understand he probably gets fans that yell Geddy and then a million other fans storm him. does seem like a pretty nice guy tho
Considering Rush has played this song at least a 1000 times.. But they still play it with so much joy and passion.. True from the heart.. Best band ever.
I’m 53. Still listening. Don’t hear all the sound ranges as well anymore so it’s more of a memory but it still works with a few beers. 🍺👍🏼…. This group & Ozzy we’re a big help to me in my life 🤷🏿♂️
I literally can not listen to another RUSH tune without a tear coming to my eye. RIP Professor! You gave kids like me back in the day a reason to carry on the battle!
Neil is absolutely perfect on drums, he literally sounds like the CD recording it's so perfect, just amazing, this is also one of my favorite songs for sure!
Subdivision by Rush is 1 of my all-time favorite songs, Rush is 1 of my all-time favorite groups they're 2 amazing been 2 most of their concerts y can't get a drummer better than Neil Peart he's absolutely amazing he's 1 of my all-time favorites
This, IMO, is one of the best versions of Subdivisions on RUclips. Crystal clear sound and the guys at the top of their game. Oh, it brings back memories of the first time I saw them in Toronto for the Moving Pictures tour. In the last 40 years, I’ve seen well over 1,000 club, outdoor, indoor, stadium and festival shows ranging from amateurs and up and comers to the top touring acts and, instrumentally, they are second to no one. The greatest composer of drums in the last 40+ years and one of the greatest drummers. He also happens to be one of the greatest lyricists. A truly underrated guitarist, only by the music rag-mags who is universally respected by other guitar gods. And a lead singer, bassist and keyboardist who is just so insanely talented. Treat yourself to this outstanding version by listening through a headset. You can here every note of every instrument in this version. And they’re Canadian too, eh.
Ditto. Used to play it (badly) with a band of friends in high school back in the late 80s. Such a great summer. I was on keys and loved that moment it gave me of booming 7/8s which started it off... and the synth solos were so much fun. Taught me tons about what incredible songwriting could be.
In my opinion, Subdivisions by Rush is equivalent to The Frayed Ends of Sanity by Metallica. Both are a statement of "yeah, go ahead, let's see you try to cover this song! 😂..."
Yes Indeed 100% Agreed that this is Rushes Best Song. Only after Limelight, in my opinion. I've seen them 7 times Live, Starting at the Permanent Waves tour, then the Moving Pictures Tour, Best Album & Tour, In My Opinion. Caught em last on the signals Tour🎶 🎵 👏💙💜🙌😁
He was one of the few musicians back then who didn't go through some messed up stuff like others did. I am glad because Rush has a huge discography with so many . I was trying to learn this song on keys and man some of the odd bar numbers in parts make it so hard to switch stuff in some parts. A good free synth for this is the patch "LAURIE" on the free downloadable synth called Dexed. One of the top free synths I have found I think.
Harrison Crutcher Funny thing is that’s Canada in a nutshell. People living for a long time because they never smoke or so drugs. Just eating blueberries and salmon and other delicacies keeps them lively for decades. Of course even Rush had to retire but Geddy Lee never lost his voice. Amazing it is.
being an old bastard and growing up in the 60's and 70's...i've always thought that the Beatles and Zeppelin were the 2 greatest bands in rock history. We'll never see anything like them again. But when it comes to an assemblage of musicians, i honestly think that Rush is the collection of 3 of the greatest musicians in rock history.
I've been a huge fan of RUSH from their Fly By Night album before Neil Peart was their drummer.I can't remember the guys last name ,but his first name was Michael and left RUSH because back in those days insulin had to be kept cold in which prevented him from touring. I'm a lifetime drummer & I play a lt of RUSH,Neil is like mentor watching him play from all different angels & incorporating much of his style in my drumming style. 57 years of drumming,5 heart attacks and 3 stents later... I'm STILL playing!!!! God is good!! Rest in Peace Neil,you are very loved & missed.
Subdivisions gave me a second chance at life. Pearts lyrics infused me with a zeal for life.....and a reason for continuing this conundrum of insanity. Thank you Neil. RIP.
One of my favorite bands of all time, Neil Peart's drum parts of these songs are so complicated and unique, that's why Rush stands out from other bands. RIP Mr. Peart
Discovered these guys with my friend our junior year in HS in 2000 and saw them for our first time at their r30 show in 04 and it changed our lives, not only was the show great but the fellow fans who were most friendly bunch of people we ever met, they all couldn’t believe that two 21 year olds were there to see the show. We were some of the youngest and I’ll never forget it!
Love that Geddy changed his name to Geddy, out of love for his mother, love that he stood in for the late Chris Squire when Yes were inducted into the R+RHOF, love that I was able to grow up listening to these three and love that I can still get away with hammering out Exit Stage Left into the wee hours of the morning. We are lucky to have experienced greatness, and luckier still to realise it!
What an awesome performance of Subdivisions, my favourite RUSH song. This is what happens when music and friendship overpowers ego and competition. These guys love their fans as much as we love them. A lot has happened in the world recently; this is the song I listen to when I go to my "happy place". Same as when I was a teenager (who didn't fit in) growing up in beautiful Alberta. If Geddy or Alex happen to read this comment, I would like to say to them... Thank You.
It's not just their technical proficiency it's how well they fit all of that technical proficiency together...... Amazing! Hard to believe Neil's no longer with us in the flesh... Thankfully we have the vids and music to remember by....
The perfect marriage of rock and synth. And God-in-heaven Neil Peart’s drumming!!! To call him brilliant or expert is underselling. Perfect rarely applies to anything. But his drumming was flawless and unrivaled.
This version of subdivisions is the best in my opinion. Tempo is perfect, Geddys voice is calm and controlled, his synth sounds amazing and no weird effects, the bass is dark and thumpy, and neils drums are tuned probably better than any DW kit live except for the r30 one. Shits just perfect
Now that James Brown is gone, I nominate Mr. Geddy Lee as "The Hardest Working Man in Showbusiness." His singing is fantastic, he is playing the keyboard and when he begins to pluck his base, the walls threaten to come down. I know of no other human on the face of the earth who could do that and do it so well!
I went to see them in 1978 at the Tarrant County Convention Center in Ft.Worth Texas not knowing who they really were....MAN !! that concert really had an affect on me...the fact that 3 guys could make all these different sounds was something to behold !!!! I was 16 at that time,i'm 57 now and I never get tired of listening to RUSH !!
Cool story. RUSH is for intelligent listeners. It's so intricate mysterious and multi thought process with so many changes within one song. I hear ya. Rush is UNIQUE!!!!

Totally. For all the negative things, YT enables us to hear & see stuff many of us wouldn't or couldn't access. I think though this will decrease so to speak & everything monetised.
Ive always been into Cure, SOM etc but Rush played a huge part in my mid/late teens. I was the'weirdo' at school but thrived on that! Neil Peart never be forgotten
Check out this version of a boy of just 17 years old ruclips.net/video/iYxBp3AYZqA/видео.html
I knew Neil as a friend, and my mentor.
He is a GREAT PERCUSSIONIST.
I will always miss him.
@@donniedevine2860 Wow! You truly are privileged. I would have loved to have met him in person too.
Johnathan,
I was introduced to Neil, by one of our local drummers who was widely known, and then opened a full music school.
Spending my summer vacays with Neil, was NO walk in the park.
There was a lot of physical conditioning/training.
Every day since his untimely death, I sit down and play one of his songs.
This song literally gave tens of thousands of kids (myself included) the motivation to make it to and through another day.
Definitely... and Fight the good fight Triumph
not just kids pal, not just kids.
Millions
Back then as a teen and now as adults in 2023
Zajebista moja muza najlepsza
The most talented rock band in music history
The professor behind the drums... No emotion, no expression on his face.. he's ALL BUISNESS on stage. The greatest drummer of all time ..
There's no best but he'd definitely be one of 4 faces on the Mt Rushmore of rock drumming if it existed❤
No emotion on his face, I agree. But there's LOT of emotion on his music, definetly more than what most performers give.
As Sammy Davis Jr. Once said " Thank God for videotape!" Neil Peart will live forever on it.
Business
Yeah he's played the song a million times... I think if I were in a rockstar band like this I would eventually get pretty bored of playing the same stuff over and over...
RIP Neil Peart, the best drummer.
I agree
YUP !!!!!! THEE BEST !!!!!!

He was also the best lyricist out there.

There will never be another band like Rush. Ever.
Joe Froelich I certainly hope not. They would just be a cover band if they were.
Give them some time. They'll be back. No idea who'd they stick on the drums though. :)
@@marcwigle Geddy always said he wanted to play with Phil Collins on drums, just imagine that collaboration
@@marcwigle Yoyoka and/or Sina. Yoyoka did an amazing drum cover of "YYZ" and Sina did an amazing drum cover of "Tom Sawyer".

How 3 guys can create such magic is just mindblowing!
One of my biggest regrets is never seeing rush live in concert
Within the last 8 minutes it became mine too
Same here, dude. I'll never have that chance.🥺🥺🥺
its a bit painful.
I saw them three times in the 80's and 90's. I regret not seeing them again, but I am glad I saw them when I did. They were incredible in concert.
@@gregjackson93 I saw them 3 times at Wembley..
In 2008, I was at a bar in Etobicoke, ON.

Your comment give me a tear on the eye :')
Jealous, what did you guys talk about?
It's a Canadian thing......... respectful......
What a cool story thanks for sharing it rush brother
Kasper you lucky son of a gun! It’s so cool Alex just hung for a bit chatting away. They all seem like such really cool guys, menschs all, and so smart, witty, pure Canadian!
Subdivisions is one of the great songs in rock. Ever!!!
It's very difficult to listen to one that isn't great!!!
OK! I'm a fan, but...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love a lot of Rush songs, but I have to agree, this is probably my most fav out of all of them….
A great song speaks to a generation. A song becomes a masterpiece when it speaks to every generation.
Geddy Lee for Prime Minister of Canada.
Alex Lifeson may be the most underrated musician in history
I couldn’t hear his vocal mic in this video though
@@silverdrumvideoWho do you think was saying Subdivisions? There’s a point in the video where you can hear and see him say it.
Oh you have no idea how accomplished all three of these gentlemen are I had the pleasure of seeing rush in California back in the early eighties and let me tell you something nobody nobody Mr beat
Best teenage anthem of all time.
There will never be another Rush ever. The highest tech band and self made. Nobody had ever controlled their own production process at this time. It was their own company. The only way to be or give it up and do not do it at all.
Intelligent, creative, off beat off culture story tellers. Rush was completely different from all others.
Absolutley
Is that black plushie on the keyboard a reference to Spinal tap? Or is it a Pi symbol?
THE GREATEST Rush track in my opinion. (RIP Neal. You are still living inside my ears.)
Agree
This is the ultimate Rush song in my opinion. The complexity of the music, the true to life lyrics, the grandness of the synth at the end, it just can't get any better.
I loved Rush in the 70’s. I love Rush to this day. Miss Neil.
Neil is awesome and forever on my mind. The entire group is.
There is no better example of what is meant when someone says "They were tight!"
Not a note out of place, everybody killing it, and doing it live...just wow!
Geddy racing off the keys after the pre-Alex solo to get back on his bass is all you need to know about Rush.
Thx for pointing that out!
And thanks for the upload 👍
At 4:26 yeah. Fuck'n incredible. Loved these guys since I was about 8 (41 now) and I always will! 🙏👍✌ RUSH ROCKS FOREVER
Hope everyone is staying safe.
Much love from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
His bass tone was awesome
Facts. 🙌🏾💯
The one band that never phoned it in.
Geddy was as excited as a student at the end of June when summer vacation starts. FREEDOM!!
The greatest drummer of all time
This my friends is what a well oiled machine looks like.
What Geddy does at 4:28 to 4:39 (pulling away from the boards and just killing it on bass) just makes this version for me. That dude is from another planet.
His vocals are just amazing live. He’s from another planet to do all of this so perfectly.
He has a moment to pull away and just let go in the moment while Alex takes over for the solo. A moment of easy playing (for HIM) and it sounds so good...
@@B.I.B.L.E. I’d agree that Geddy is alien 👽
That bass. Rush the deity of rock
And, Alex has one of his must subtle shreds: the harmonics are epic
Every time I hear this song I think of growing up back in the 80’s, riding my BMX bike with my friends, not caring about anything, getting up on Saturday mornings to watch the cartoons. It just gives me a dejavu feeling of that part of my life that I can’t fully explain....it’s weird. Gotta be the best decade.
Right there with you, Murray. Superfriends on Saturday mornings...Diamond Backs, Torkers and Redlines every day after school. The summer of '84 was probably the best I ever had. :D
I was in 10th grade when this song came out, and it just hit home with me! Great times indeed.
Yep, the 80's rocked! Spent all my money on arcade games then got an Atari 2600. Did they ever show the Subdivisions video on Friday Night Videos on NBC? I think I saw it there.
kimsmithih yeah I think they did!!!
Same here.....riding our bikes all over town,hitting the arcade rooms,callin friends up on the push button home phone to setup a meeting place...lol...best of times!!!!
I was at Geddie Lee's house in Toronto, Canada.
I was delivering a bike for his significant other.
He is a Super Cool Guy !
Pablo Gaviria wow so awesome, yeah I get he doesn't like to bugged when he is at the blue jays game, he just wants to chill and watch the game like everyone else. can understand he probably gets fans that yell Geddy and then a million other fans storm him. does seem like a pretty nice guy tho
My brother was at his place as well and did the concert video for BU2B.
Also a cool story ! How exciting. Is your brother a videographer?
r/thathappened
I'm jealous
Such a full sound,, sounds like 10 musicians,, 3 men,,wow! Genius
They were one of the best bands ever. So lucky to have seen them live. It was life-affirming.
First time I saw them it was basically a religious experience, I was in awe, and it made me a huge huge fan.
This song came out when I was in 10th grade. I saw them live one tome a few years later. It was an awesome show
In tears knowing that we'll never get to see these 3 together on this planet again
Easily the best trio, most talented , most mysterious and playing music from outer space. Best non commercial trio of all time.
Chris Keck Get a grip, dude.
This song proves that Rush are the three most talented musicians that Have ever existed
Hi. Please check this cover version: ruclips.net/video/iYxBp3AYZqA/видео.html thank you.
Jim M Not really. There are many other talented 3 piece outfits.
They worked the hardest surely.
I agree but remember Cream, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Triumph, Police, we’re three piece bands also…
There's no better power trio!
Considering Rush has played this song at least a 1000 times.. But they still play it with so much joy and passion.. True from the heart.. Best band ever.
The technically most gifted band
Rest in Peace Neil. You're with your family now. Thank you for all the wonderful memories you have given millions of fans all over the world.
THE greatest drummer of all time!!!!
There just was nobody else like them RUSH = GOAT
Geddy’s performance on keys, bass and vocals is outstanding. Add Neil’s complex drumming and this performance is nothing short of a masterpiece.
Greatast band of all time without question
"Suddenly You were gone from all the lives you left your mark upon" Rest in peace Neil....
Neil was rush hands down best drummer ever
My favourite Rush song. Neil's drumming is second to none. RIP Neil Peart.
My all time favorite Rush song. Synthesizer is pure madness!!!
I’m 53. Still listening. Don’t hear all the sound ranges as well anymore so it’s more of a memory but it still works with a few beers. 🍺👍🏼…. This group & Ozzy we’re a big help to me in my life 🤷🏿♂️
I listened to this song over and over while driving from San Jose to Reno. Great song!
This live version is absolute fire. The studio version has always been great but this...........AMAZING
I literally can not listen to another RUSH tune without a tear coming to my eye. RIP Professor! You gave kids like me back in the day a reason to carry on the battle!
R.I.P Neil 💔
Just gutted he's gone.
@@thomaskane9298 Same here, bro.
This was my introduction to Rush...1983 I think. Listening to the radio...blew me away and started a lifelong love for the band and the music.
Note the measured tempo....Genius. Happy Birthday Geddy Lee 70
When he goes to bass gives me goosebumps.. such a powerhouse
Trio. Holy shit!
Yes! I used to feel this kind of power from Entwistle, Chris Squire & Phil Lynott when they played as well. Ged is now the reigning BASS THUNDER!
Yes!! Holy shit
Neil is absolutely perfect on drums, he literally sounds like the CD recording it's so perfect, just amazing, this is also one of my favorite songs for sure!
Thing about them is how they make their live music sound like the album.
Subdivision by Rush is 1 of my all-time favorite songs, Rush is 1 of my all-time favorite groups they're 2 amazing been 2 most of their concerts y can't get a drummer better than Neil Peart he's absolutely amazing he's 1 of my all-time favorites

This is so profoundly accurate about social structure.

RIP Mr Neil Peart! for sure 4 or more generations of drummers get inspired by his talent
I’ve been listening to Rush since the 2112 album I found that in 79 I was 15
rock and roll hall of famers right here
The greatest 3 piece band ever
one of their best preformances of this song
Been a fan since 1982, and it just never gets old. This is the greatest band in the history of ever.
Subdivisions gave me a second chance at life. Pearts lyrics infused me with a zeal for life.....and a reason for continuing this conundrum of insanity. Thank you Neil. RIP.
"The restless dreams of youth", thank you Neil for that line.♥
The prof, drumming and lyrics, just different class. Gotta love Rush. Best band ever.
“....be cool or be cast out...” That was me. They got me. Neil’s lyrics equaled his percussion. RIP Professor.
One of my favorite bands of all time, Neil Peart's drum parts of these songs are so complicated and unique, that's why Rush stands out from other bands. RIP Mr. Peart
If ever there was a Rush track to show someone who has never heard of Rush it would be this. It has everything Rush has to offer.
Discovered these guys with my friend our junior year in HS in 2000 and saw them for our first time at their r30 show in 04 and it changed our lives, not only was the show great but the fellow fans who were most friendly bunch of people we ever met, they all couldn’t believe that two 21 year olds were there to see the show. We were some of the youngest and I’ll never forget it!
Love that Geddy changed his name to Geddy, out of love for his mother, love that he stood in for the late Chris Squire when Yes were inducted into the R+RHOF, love that I was able to grow up listening to these three and love that I can still get away with hammering out Exit Stage Left into the wee hours of the morning. We are lucky to have experienced greatness, and luckier still to realise it!
Drummers like that come around once in a lifetime.
This videos makes one realize just how good this 3 piece band was and how unbelievable a drummer Neil Peart was. RIP
Neil Peart's drums will live in the ears of Rock n Roll 10 years past forever.....perfect tone, just perfect.....
RIP Professor. Amazing bass. Geddy really thumps it. Alex Lifeson always a genius. Brilliant piece. And I am devastated.
There will never be another like Neil Peart.
Oh hell yes! That's our national anthem.
Can all the Canadians in here please stand up! 🇨🇦
When I took my wife to her first Rush concert, she couldn’t believe there was only three guys playing all that sound
What an awesome performance of Subdivisions, my favourite RUSH song. This is what happens when music and friendship overpowers ego and competition. These guys love their fans as much as we love them. A lot has happened in the world recently; this is the song I listen to when I go to my "happy place". Same as when I was a teenager (who didn't fit in) growing up in beautiful Alberta. If Geddy or Alex happen to read this comment, I would like to say to them... Thank You.
Hey... check this version of my son: ruclips.net/video/iYxBp3AYZqA/видео.html a guy with just 17 years old. Thank you.
When the video for this song came out in 1982, I immediately became a Rush fan. Describes exactly my situation in high school.
Virtuoso performance is an understatement.
Miss Neil so much. There's nothing that compares to watching him play with the overhead cam. His precision was incredible and unmatched.
It's not just their technical proficiency it's how well they fit all of that technical proficiency together...... Amazing!
Hard to believe Neil's no longer with us in the flesh... Thankfully we have the vids and music to remember by....
Rush ! the biggest rock'n roll trio in all times!❤
The perfect marriage of rock and synth. And God-in-heaven Neil Peart’s drumming!!! To call him brilliant or expert is underselling. Perfect rarely applies to anything. But his drumming was flawless and unrivaled.
Perfect song ,perfect musician
What a generation we were to have experienced RUSH
Has anyone ever stopped to think just how lucky we were to see RUSH ?
This version of subdivisions is the best in my opinion. Tempo is perfect, Geddys voice is calm and controlled, his synth sounds amazing and no weird effects, the bass is dark and thumpy, and neils drums are tuned probably better than any DW kit live except for the r30 one. Shits just perfect

R.I.P Neil Peart 😞
Now that James Brown is gone, I nominate Mr. Geddy Lee as "The Hardest Working Man in Showbusiness." His singing is fantastic, he is playing the keyboard and when he begins to pluck his base, the walls threaten to come down. I know of no other human on the face of the earth who could do that and do it so well!
They started and became Canada's Finest.
They Finished and became 1 of Earth's Finest !
What a Rush !
I went to see them in 1978 at the Tarrant County Convention Center in Ft.Worth Texas not knowing who they really were....MAN !! that concert really had an affect on me...the fact that 3 guys could make all these different sounds was something to behold !!!! I was 16 at that time,i'm 57 now and I never get tired of listening to RUSH !!
Cool story. RUSH is for intelligent listeners. It's so intricate mysterious and multi thought process with so many changes within one song. I hear ya. Rush is UNIQUE!!!!
This will always be my favorite song by Rush!
